Changing your Grip during a Rally
The idea of changing your grip during a rally is a big no-no according to some players and coaches, and perfectly acceptable to others (probably depending on whether they change their own grip or not!).
On the world stage, Timo Boll appears to be one of the biggest grip changers, with notably different grips between his forehand and backhand. The debate still rages on various Internet forums about whether this is an advantage or disadvantage... Previous to Boll, Jan-Ove Waldner was noted for his grip changes to achieve certain shots, but it was fairly common to admit that he was a table tennis genius, and that changing the grip was perhaps not a great idea for the rest of us!
The main pluses of changing your grip during a rally is that it can allow you to better hit specific shots, such as Waldner's sidespin blocks, or Boll's heavy topspin loops. The main argument against is that you can get caught with the bat in the wrong position, making your stroke awkward at times. Both points of view are valid, but the importance of each will vary from player to player. Creative players who can think fast will often benefit from using grip changes to enhance their strokes, while those of us who don't have the same speed of though might want to limit the amount of grip changing we do.
Deci asa cum spune si antrenorul de mai sus, dezbaterea e continua si in randul profesionistilor, se pare ca cei care pot face schimbarea de grip o incurajeaza cei ce nu pot sa o faca intr-un mod optim o descurajeaza! Cat despre Waldner, se pare ca intuisem bine ca schimba priza din filmuletele de pe youtube! In continuarea articolului antrenorul spune ca personal utiliza schimbarea prizei des intre cea predominanta de fh. si cea de bh., dar ulterior a ales o priza neutra pt. ca era surprins cam 2-3 puncte pe meci cu schimbarea de priza( intr-adevar prea mult!). Concluzia care o extrag eu este ca e bine sa schimbi priza doar in anumite momente cheie pt. a-ti permite executarea anumitor lovituri mai pretentioase, altfel pierzi timp pretios asa cum zicea si Vali! Chiar antrenorul de mai sus spunea ca s-a chinuit cam 3 luni sa renunte la schimbarea prizelor si sa se obisnuiasca cu una neutra, deci ma asteapta aproximativ 3 luni de incercat sa am o priza neutra! :lol:
